Valencia, Ca

Carried out analytical testing of raw materials, in-process samples, and finished products in a cGMP lab. Sample matrices included powders, oils, tablets, soft gels, and gummy products.Testing and development work was carried out on accelerated stability studies new product development and product reformulation. Samples included bench-top prototypes, small pilot batches, and full batch manufacturing trials (FBMTs). Gained hands-on experience with new method development as well as product-specific method validation for USP.Instrument experience includes HPLC, UPLC, ELSD, GC-FID, ICP-OES, and ICP-MS.Troubleshot basic instrument malfunctions and out-of-specification results.

Valencia, Ca

Performed assays on Pharmavite products throughout accelerated stability studies for new product development and shelf-life determination. Assays involved wet chemistry techniques including Karl Fischer titration, pH determination, etc.Instrument operation included HPLC, UPLC, UV-Vis, ICP-OES, and GC-FID.

Explained and demonstrated introductory level lab technique to students. Instructed students on basic instrument operation including HPLC, UV-Visible, and FTIR.Reviewed dangers of harmful chemicals and appropriate safety precautions based on SDS.

Schimmel/Conrades Chemistry Lab

Gained intermediate level experience operating HPLC for quantitative and qualitative analysis. Utilized wet chemistry techniques such as pipetting, titrations, and pH meter for sample prep and extraction.The study consisted of dosing Duckweed plant with Citalopram (SSRI) over the course of a month. Extracting and analyzing to determine uptake levels, if any.
